MEDIA INTERNSHIPS OFFERING A RANGE OF FOCUSES

Developing Radio Partners  is focused on spreading important information primarily through the medium of radio in Africa. This involves training local journalists, assisting with broadcasts, and encouraging accessibility to radios in rural communities. DRP works with local broadcasters to spread information about the environment, agriculture, health, and governance. This easy spreading of information gives the power of knowledge to everyday people, and changes their lives for the better.

While every community needs reliant information about day to day life, DRP also tailors its support to the specific needs of the station. These approaches could include: outreach with community partners, surveying technical capacities of stations, creating Program Toolkits to support targeted programming, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. These engagements encourage stronger, more participatory communities.

Started in 2004 by one of the founders of National Public Radio in the United States, Developing Radio Partners is a well-established organization that is eager for new interns!

Why Intern with Developing Radio Partners

Find out from our previous interns how internships with Developing Radio Partners can jumpstart your professional career and expand your soft skills.

I have become more proficient in my use of Excel charting and was able to utilize the knowledge I learned in school in the workplace. Since my native language is not English, I feel proud that I have been able to communicate with my co-workers and supervisors more actively through this internship than before.

Business Development Internship, Remote

My experience with Roots and my host organization was seamless. Roots were very responsive and made me feel supported throughout my internship experience. Whilst I knew the support was there, I was always able to make my own decisions and maintain my independence. This helped me build my professional skills that will be valuable in the workplace in the future. I wrote six stories about the experience of Youth Reporters in Malawi, detailing how the project impacted their lives. To do this, I conducted interviews and was constantly sending drafts back and forth with my supervisor. The skill of receiving... See More

Besides the experience it has added to my resume, this internship gave me a lot of insight into what I want to do in the future. I learned about how a nonprofit operates, which was very illuminating. The experience was very enjoyable and I got to do a variety of work. My tasks included running the social media accounts, Google Ads campaign, data entry and analysis, designing graphics, and creating a Wikipedia page. Probably the biggest project I was able to work on is their national television campaign in Malawi, which used graphics I created as part of the programs.... See More
